Scenario: You are a CMA working in the Surgical Services Department of Fulwood Medical Center. One of your administrative responsibilities is posting the surgery schedule in the OR. A surgeon is requesting time for a procedure to repair Mrs. Linda Hayden's blocked coronary arteries. The patient has extensive blockage caused by plaque and hardening of the arteries and is in imminent danger of having a fatal heart attack. Please put her on the schedule stat. Patient Name/ Medical Record: Hayden, Linda Surgeon: cardiovascular Procedure: (Click to select) Diagnosis: (Click to select) Anesthesia: General Time: 5 hr. Room #: 1 What is the medical term for "blocked"? perfused occluded prolapsed necrotic

$\bullet$ Heart repair. A surgeon is using material from a donated heart to repair a patient's damaged aorta and needs to know the elastic characteristics of this aortal material. Tests performed on a 16.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ strip of the donated aorta reveal that it stretches 3.75 $\mathrm{cm}$ when a 1.50 $\mathrm{N}$ pull is exerted on it. (a) What is the force constant of this strip of aortal material? (b) If the maxi- mum distance it will be able to stretch when it replaces the aorta in the damaged heart is $1.14 \mathrm{cm},$ what is the greatest force it will be able to exert there?
Consider a study performed by a medical center to determine which of two heart surgeries is most effective: angioplasty (running plastic tubes through the arteries) or bypass (re-routing arteries). The purpose of either procedure is to prolong the life of the patient. The study records the survival time of each patient (measured from the time of the surgery). The response and explanatory variables in this study are response variable: type of surgery; explanatory variable: survival time response variable: survival time; explanatory variable: type of surgery. response variable: condition of the heart; explanatory variable: whether the patient was operated on or not

CASE 3-32: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Postoperative LOS The hospital reviewed the postoperative length of stay (PLOS) for patients who have had a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure over the past year's third quarter. The results from this review can be found in Table 3-13. You are preparing a report of the study to present at the Cardiology Department meeting next week.
